SFECIFICATIN forming part of Letters PatentvNo. 606,087, dated 'J une 21,l 1898. Application fue@ July 2, 189714 serial No. eEsyzi'ifdidoeii;

To ,ZZ wiz/0771, t mrtg concern: y

Be it known that I, CORNELIA S. ROBINSON, of New York city, -in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Garbage-Closei, of which the following is 'a full, clear, and exact description. f

This invention relates to closets for the temporary holding. of garbage or other-refuse;

fixed position with relation t-o the wall of a building that ready access may be had from. the interior of a building orroom, and, fur-` ther, to provide means to insure a circulation of outer air to carry off the odors.

g1 will describe a garbage-closet'embodying iy invention and then poin'toutthenovel features in the appendedclaims...

in Whichsimilar characters of reference indicate correspondingparts'inI both views.

Figure'lis an inside elevation of a garbageclosetv embodying my invention with apor.- tion of the door broken away, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the closet.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a section of abuilding-wall, and 2 is theinterior plastering.I The wall is shown as'having an opening entirely through it, and the wallsof I have, however, arranged a metal casing 3 bottom,and side wallsof the closet.

The inner end of the casing or closet is provided with a door 4, hinged to swing vinto a room, and to make a practically :tir-tight closure of the door I provide the casing with a janib, into which the edges of the door tightly et. i

A portion of the outer wall of the closet is inclined downward and outward, forming a.

this hood ya screen 6 Aextends to a connection the lower end of the ycloset or casing at the outer side.

It is obvious that the screen, will admit air to the linterior of the closet, but will prevent accidentally fall thereon from the interior,v The hood will .prevent theY entrance of rainl face will also ser-'ve to deflect air upward in the closet.

From the upper portion of the closet a pipe. 8 extends upward and preferably terminates at or slightly above the roofjof a buildng.`

. In fiat-buildings or where the several floors of a'building are occupied by separate fami lies there will be agarbage-closet for each fiat dr door, and in`such eventim uptake or iiue- Olwll be made common to all theclosets of a.

icrieS- `f Itis obvious hthat the hood 5 may extend entirely to the :bottom of the closet and the vertical wall 7 be omitted without departing from the spiritof myinvention; but it may be preferable to; use the vertical wall, as it will prevent the .garbage receptacle from being pushed onto the screen and possibly breaking .it orA euttingoi lsoniecofthe.air.

,A garbage-receptacle is indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2, -ind the arrows indicate the direction of air-current designed to carry oftn the odorsfroin the garbage.

Having thus described my invention, I. claim' as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-1- 1. A garbage-closet' formed in a wall ofa building and havin g'a portion of its outer wall inclined downwardly and outwardly forming a hood projecting out beyond the outer face of the wall of the building and having its b ottoml closed by a screen, the said closet being provided with a iuc leading from its top, substantially as described.
